Arizona,Abortion Ban,Women's Rights

Arizona passes a strict abortion ban, drawing criticism from President Biden who argues that it fails to protect women's health and rights. The law only allows exceptions for life-threatening conditions and imposes prison sentences for healthcare providers performing unlawful abortions.

The law only makes exceptions for abortions in which the mother faces immediate life-threatening conditions while mandating a prison sentence of between two and five years for a healthcare provider who performs the procedure unlawfully.

Biden has long considered himself a champion of “women’s right to choose” on the topic of abortion, which he reiterated in his statement. Vice President Kamala Harris laid the full blame of the Arizona ruling on former President Donald Trump in a statement Tuesday afternoon. “Arizona just rolled back the clock to a time before women could vote — and, by his own admission, there’s one person responsible: Donald Trump,” Harris said.
